Partnerships to bring better care to veterans both far and wide

Cara Livernois | July 25, 2016 | Health Exec | Precision Medicine

Taking care of our veterans has not always been easy. Veterans often face long wait times, and for those in rural communities, a long commute as well. Now veterans, thanks to the Veterans Choice Act of 2014, are able to choose between VA and community care providers.

Both VA and community care providers are continuing to make improvements in access and timeliness of care to veterans. One such partnership is between TriWest Healthcare Alliance and the VA, joining to better serve our veterans through its Choice Program.
